Freestyle for the XBOX for the XBOX system is one of the best motorcross games out there. The game is a bit more arcadey than a simulation, there is very little realism, but there is a whole lot of fun! Your motorcycle's physics are floaty and they were purposely made this way, so that your jumps are very high and last longer in mid-air. This is important in gameplay mechanics because you are allowed to make stunts while in mid-air (kinda like Tony Hawk on a motorcycle.) You can pick an assortment of characters, lots of different dirt bikes and race tracks. Using the same format of, "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater", you unlock more maps when you accomplish certain tasks in a level. There is an easy-to-use Level Editor, included so you can create your own stunt arenas. They even included a mode called "Human Dart", which is a nice mini game. There is also Free-ride where you can do whatever you want/no rules (free-form gameplay).

very great game there are tons of unlockable and many many hour of game play to keep u busy for a while.

It's an old school game in the tradition of Tony Hawk's skating games but on a freestyle motorbike. What more needs to be said?

The game was shipped out to me in NZ from the US and I discovered that I had to modify the x-box so it could play games from the US. It was worth the hassle.

I LOVE THIS GAME. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE IT, BUT I HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO PURCHASE IT MY SELF. I CAN NOT FIND IT
ANYWHERE. I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE. THE SALES PEOPLE TELL
ME IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED! HOW IT WAS ONLY RELEASED IN
MARCH 2003!!!!

This is one of the best Freestyle games on the market. The graphics are incredible. The game keeps you busy for a long time .Not only can you pull sick freestyle moves but the objectives are instense. I love this game and would recommend it highly. Two thumbs up all the way!!!!

this game isnt bad but its not what a lot of people made it out to be. the graphics arent great, they arent even "good" considering that its an xbox game (only a little better than dreamcast in my opinion). that doesnt take away from gameplay though, the controls are clean and its pretty easy to play. except for the constant system crashes its a game worth buying expecially considering the price.
